You cannot create your own palette but you can edit the controls palette to have your own controls.

To make custom palettes in LabVIEW 7,
Open LabVIEW >> tools >> advanced >> edit palette views. This launches a new window. On palette views choose new setup, enter a name. Goto the controls palette, right click >> insert >> submenu. A new window appears. Choose how your controls are to be accessed. Save your changes and now you are in business.
